I never wear a watch, or really very very rarely. I think I must have owned 2 proper watches in my life. My first watch was my mum’s gift when I moved to Scotland and it was black and white plastic Swatch that I loved dearly. I worn it all the time in Scotland and then the day it died it re […]

First of all I want to apologise because my product photographs won’t do justice to Crumpler bags but I am not a product photographer for one and I hardly have the means or time to do a proper thing. But I will show you my bags in situ and what I can carry in them ! Ok, so I discovered Crumpl […]

What happened to Beuchat ? Their super compensator used to be a heavy piece of equipment but reliable and it has become a piece of junk. I did order the silicone more recent model and received it a few days ago. I went to the beach to try it for the first time this morning. I did everything right […]

So this is the item I most definitely wished for and I am kind of in 2 minds wether I should pre-order it. The question you should always ask yourself is “do I really need it” ? And to be perfectly honest I don’t. I snorkel and that’s enough for me. Besides I don’t s […]

Last year I broke 2 pairs of flip flops. One of them was a Reef Phantom and broke in between the toes while walking on the beach. It was in Nerja and I had perhaps 1. 5 miles walk on a flat road to get back home so it was OK I guess. After that experience I looked for a stronger pair of flip flop […]

Vintage old fashioned looking canvas bag ! That sounds appealing doesn’t it ? It so happens most photographers are worse than fashion victims when it comes to bags ! They own one for every occasion, every excuse and even I must admit that I have numerous camera bags, and a perfectly good excus […]

There are so many things I would like to review but I either can’t be bothered or won’t seem to find the time. However, I feel like I have to review the fantastic pair of sandals I have been wearing for the last 2 and a half months. These sandals are the “Reef J-Bay III” an […]

The first time I tried my water housing, I ended up with lots of fog on the front element that would dissipate on its own after a few seconds underwater. This time, for my last shoot, I ended up with a more serious problem with fog that persisted after minutes underwater and we had to get back to t […]

This is something we had had in mind for quite a while but needed some source of impulse to get it done. I am talking about creating our own camera equipments, the ones we can actually make. After lots of thoughts, tests of many products along the years we felt that there was a real lack of produc […]

I can now say with certainty how much one male adult should pack for himself in terms of clothes for traveling to any equatorial country any time of the year. Should you not have to attend any tea party over there and be sure that the temperature doesn’t go below 18°C or 65°F this is […]
